Question 1

is pinched nerve can cause tingling numbness and goose bumps sensations?

Accepted Answer

Pinched Nerve: A pinched nerve can usually cause numbness and weakness, but not goosebumps.

Question 2

been experiencing random patches of goosebumps and tingling on left thigh. does not hurt but happens frequently throughout the day. cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

Keep watching: I suspect that this may be at the early stage of shingles but only time will time.  If you do note blisters  or pain coming on, contact your doctor to get treated promptly.

Question 3

reoccurring one sided tingling left arm leg face. back again today with goosebumps on left arm. normal mris nerve conduction eeg and mra. cause?

Accepted Answer

Neuropathy: Superficial small fiber neuropathy will not show on EMG or EEG.  Suggest trial of gabapentin if very annoying.

Question 4

i get random tingling/crawling/goosebump feelings on my back under my right shoulder blade. it happens at random. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

This is very likely: a temporary nerve compression or dysfunction. The tingling nature of your symptom suggests nerve involvement. Something might be pressing on a nerve near your shoulder blade (could it more likely happen when you are lying on your back/shoulder blade?)  The reassuring thing is it sounds transient and resolves quickly. Unless it worsens in frequency or intensity, or spreads in location, OK to watch.

Question 5

tingling and goosebumps feeling down left leg only. nothing hurts. blood flow good.  been like this for a week but worse now for 2 days.

Accepted Answer

Nerve: More information is needed. This symptom is characteristic of nerve impingement or irritability. A neurologist would have to examine you in order to order any appropriate tests and make a diagnosis.

Question 6

what are these goosebump like bumps all over my hands and arms and why have my hands been tingling since they appeared?

Accepted Answer

Small blisters?: This could represent dermatitis caused by contact allergy. Without at least a photo it is impossible to make a more definitive answer. Cool compresses and calamine will give you temporary relief. If it gets worse see md.

Question 7

my arms are constantly going numb, and i get tingling goosebump sensations down my right leg and back. why is that happening?

Accepted Answer

See below: This is a problem that necessitates a face-to-face meeting with your doctor.  This will allow him/her to examine you, ask specific questions. And possibly order tests to find out what's wrong and what to do to help you.

Question 8

my daughter has a goosebumps like rash on her legs and a tingling needle like pain on her back near her spine that is aggravated by temp change in the?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: She should see dermatology to be evaluated to find the cause so be treated.

Question 9

have tingling going down my left arm periodically. no pain, just feels like goose bumps., lately, have a sweet tooth, eating a bag of licorice a day??

Accepted Answer

Goose bumps: Probably nothing major but if the tingling gets worse or more common, please see your doctor.

Nothing to do with tingling but go easy on the licorice or you will gain a lot of weight.

Question 10

why is it when the massage therapist massages my upper body i get goosebumps/tingling in my legs? and why r we suppose to drink water post massage

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Not certain about goosebumps, though could be autonomic response.  If tingling in legs with work on neck and arms, then check out if any compression in the neck or upper spine.  As to the water, your connective tissues, fat and muscle store lots of things that your body has to process when mobilized by massage.  Hydration helps.
